In simple terms, we want our people to be at their best at work and at home\u2014from a physical, mental, emotional and social perspective.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds straightforward, but not always easy to bring to life.\u00a0 From our leaders and employees, we know achieving (and sustaining) well-being remains a top challenge. \u00a0According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health is now a global crisis with levels of anxiety, depression, stress and burnout rising every year.\u00a0 Often, social stigma and fear of discrimination hinder many employees from speaking out and seeking support.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have all the answers at Schneider, but we are taking well-being seriously. It\u2019s not just good for business, it\u2019s the right thing to do. Our holistic approach centers around actions that truly impact behaviors and mindset shift. Over 75% of our employees are covered under Schneider Electric\u2019s new <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kubpftG67NA\">Global Family Leave policy<\/a>. All our employees are required to participate in a well-being e-workout. We have over 1000 employee-driven well-being labs across the globe addressing topics like stress management, mindfulness and hidden bias. At the global level, we set and track KPIs for well-being and inclusion as part of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/about-us\/sustainability\/\">Schneider Sustainability Impact<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-59964 \" src=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tina-and-Grandma-Kao_July-2019.jpg\" alt=\"Tina and her grandma - unique life work balance\" width=\"341\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tina-and-Grandma-Kao_July-2019.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.se.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Tina-and-Grandma-Kao_July-2019-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/>Some of you may remember my Grandma Kao from my <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.se.com\/life-at-schneider-electric\/2018\/09\/25\/living-your-unique-life-and-work\/\">previous blog post<\/a>. She is now 104 years old and still playing mahjong on her I-Pad every day. I had the chance to visit her again this summer and while she is quite physically frail, her mental and emotional well-being is remarkably strong. She is my role model for living her unique life in a healthy, enriching and empowering way.<\/p>\n<p>In my own life, I try to free up my energy and live my unique life and work.\u00a0 From our well-being diagnostics, I know that I manage stress pretty well and maintain strong social connections.\u00a0 But I know I need to improve my workload management and physical exercise. \u00a0Every day requires a deliberate \u2018check in\u2019 and calibration to ensure my well-being is at its best.<\/p>\n<p>This year, on October 10<sup>th<\/sup>, Schneider will participate in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/mental_health\/world-mental-health-day\/en\/\">World Mental Health Day<\/a> focusing on Mental Health in the Workplace.
